Did you know that in 1972, both Jamiat Ulama UK, and Anjuman Tabligh al-Islam agreed to start Ramadan and two Eids following Morocco (and not SA)? They started Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr 1973, together. Unfortunately, they split up for the Eid al-Adha. Ref: https://t.co/fZOcwnK3yR

@IrfanShaik88840 @HaramainInfo In our past 30 years experience, Saudi Arabia always announces according to the Ummul Qura Calendar dates (ie. moonset after sunset following New Moon Conjunction), even if the moon is under 5 hrs old and setting with the sun at 0.5° alt, except if totally cloudy or Sandstrorm!
